Comments, Questions & Reviews:

Answer by andrewn on Tuesday, February 7, 2012Usually SATA cables are not included with HDDs, so you will probably need to get one seperately. Typically spares are provided with the motherboard, though if you have a pre-built 'OEM' system such as a dell they may not have been provided.

Question by Flynn

Is 6GB/s the transfer rate?

Answer by daniele on Thursday, November 10, 2011On computers with SATA III interfaces, 6Gb/s is the maximum bandwidthFor more info on this, see http://goo.gl/IGqn4

Question by Mike

SATA to IDE MB by Joolz

Would this HDD work on an Asus P4P800-MX mobo using a SATA to IDE Bi-directional converter (Quick code 36067)? Would I ned any additional leads?

Answer by daniele on Saturday, September 17, 2011Yes. You would need a SATA data cable (like 41415) and a SATA power cable which would usually be on your PSU. If you do not have SATA power on your PSU, you can use a 4-pin Molex to SATA adapter (7683)
